that's some serious p0rnös stuff! I dig the arm contour and the upper fret access. Controls layout would have to be different for me though....just vol, tone and a 3way 4pdt toggle lined up ;-)..... My trem of choice (non locking) would be either the Wilkinson VS100 or the new Gotoh T1802, preferably with the "old" Wilkinson Roller nut:and Gotoh Magnum Lock locking tuners.No beef with Schaller, but quality wise Gotoh is ways more consistent in my book.

That's a fine looking guitar. How's that neck heel feel when you're accessing the upper frets? I like the look of it, but I am wondering about that lump of wood there. I have another guitar like that and it really stretches my thumb!

The neck heel feeling is wonderful. This Pandora is 22 frets, mine will be 24: you can access the higher part of the fretboard as if it were a violin.Plus I've big hands with long, thin fingers and I find it awesome.

The Virtus model has 25 frets and a slightly different neck heel's shape...but the final effect is the same.

Looking forward to hear how you like the mixed frets

I don't know if you ever tried that Schaller Vintage tremolo bridge: it blows the Wilkinson and the Gotoh away very, very easily and you don't need a Wilkinson nut there (I've the original one on my Fender Strat Plus and to be honest I cannot say how much difference it makes if compared to a good, well shaped TUSQ nut...).It's a Floyd Rose without fine tuning and locking nut: tons of sustain, roller saddles, made of steel with a very good block, FR tremolo arm, harmonics, it works very softly, precisely and gently in both directions (up and down), it perfectly keeps tuning even when you dive b*mb like Eddie for 2 hours. And it trills like the Devil.
